I did some comparisons between the drives, and it would appear from WD's website, Mainstream HDD's sometimes come with a variable speed rating to compensate for power usage and heat. In laymen's terms, the drive is capable of 7200 rpm, and will use it when it has to, otherwise it will spin down to a lower rate when idle. It also improves on the life span of the drive. There is also sometimes a difference in warranty, but with these two drives, they are the same. 2 yrs on parts (limited) and labor.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's identical. The model listed on the actual drive label is WD10EZEX.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The WD blue is just an average hard drive that can be used for storage or general purpose use. WD has at least four different types of hard drives, each suited for a different purpose.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Looks like for the extra 10 bucks, the "Mainstream" delivers almost 10 times the data transfer rate, a larger data cache (which will improve processing), and some extra gobbledygook software that you'll probably never use. Spend the extra $10, you won't be sorry.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is the WD10EZEX.
